I had no idea where to start with an anniversary card...so the hunt began. I ended up liking a card made by Lisa Flemming. That's where I got the idea for the hearts on the scallop circle...then I went from there on my own.Card stock colors: Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, Pretty in Pink, DSP Sending Love (retired, but still for sale on the clearance rack!)Stampin' Spot: Pretty in PinkModern Label Ex-Lg punchScallop Circle #2 Bigz DieScalloped Heart of Hearts Stampin' Up Embosslits Die

Here's a card I made Thanksgiving morning. I needed a b-day card for my brother-in-law. Yup, I tend to be a procrastinator. :( Someday I'll stop doing that! I love this stamp set and use it ALL the time. I suppose I should buy my own. I've been borrowing it from one of my "craft night" friends for quite a while now.

I used the set Lovely as a Tree. Card stock colors: Early Espresso, Always Artichoke, Bravo Burgundy & Very Vanilla. Classic Stampin' Pad: Early EspressoModern Label Ex-Lg punch

I came up with these cards when I saw a few samples of pansy cards and needed a birthday card for a friend at work. I really enjoyed making these cards and used the idea for my 3x3 card exchange that I posted earlier.

Here are the three cards I demo'd at my first workshop on Friday. I got the idea for my first card from Kerin Sylvesterusing the Because I Care hostess set. I used Whisper White and Old Olive cardstock, and Pretty in Pink and Old Olive stampin' pads and spots.

The second card is made using the Autumn Days set. I used Chocolate Chip, Garden Green, More Mustard, Bravo Burgundy and Very Vanilla cardstock. I also used the Stampin' Write Markers in the same colors.

Here are two cards I did in a 3X3 card swap. The first one is made with Elegant Eggplant, Marina Mist, Very Vanilla and Garden Green cardstock. I used the Butterfly Extra-Large punch to make the pansy. I sponged on Elegant Eggplant, then Marina Mist. The second card was done with Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White and Marina Mist cardstock.

I made this card from leftover card stock that I had when I made a Christmas card for a challenge from my upline. I originally made the tree for a sympathy card, but didn't think the subtle sponging I did on the tree went with my sympathy card...so I created a masculine b-day card instead.

Here is a challenge from my upline. At our October meeting she had us use the Letterpress Plates. We were suppose to bring our finished cards to our November meeting. Nope, I didn't bring mine. :( I had cleaned up my mess and couldn't remember where I had tucked my paper away...but I finally found it last night and got it made up. :)

Well, I figured it was about time for me to set up a blog, so here goes... We'll see where this takes me, and if I faithfully post the cards I make. Now I just need to actually tell a few of you friends out there that I have this going on!
